Wednesday passed the so-called Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019, bringing it a step closer to becoming law. The act requires the United States government to assess the level of freedom in Hong Kong in order to decide whether Washington will continue to

grant the city special trading privileges under the 1992 United States-Hong Kong Policy Act. This legislation shows that Washington is intent on persisting in the role of self-appointed glob

al policeman.Over the 22 years since Hong Kong's return to China, the city has maintained its status as a free port and a separate customs territory with the support of the central government. It has built on its relationships with other co

untries under the name of "Hong Kong, China", and been an active participant in international economic, communications, tourism, cultural, and sporting organizations. It's clear to anyone looking at the situation through fair eyes that the city enjoys a high degree of autonomy.The string of violent incidents that have rocked Hong Kong over the past four months has put a serious strain on the city's social cohesion and economic health. Rioters have disregarded the rule o

f law, not to mention the ordinary constraints of civil society, and directly challenged the "one country, two systems" principle that has been successfully implemented since 1997.Some U.S. lawmakers have deci■ded to turn a blind eye to the damage the rioters are doing to the city, and have chosen instead to praise their violence. These same lawmakers have been quick to criticize the Hong Kong police, cl
